After settling the old lady down, He Yuheng went to the counter office. There was an auntie sitting inside with her head lowered.
"Hello, I want to buy stamps. Where can I buy them?”
"I can give you as many as you want.”The auntie replied without raising her head.
"Sister, it's like this. I bought it to copy it for myself to play with…"
"Imitation? Buy it to paint?"
When the auntie heard that he was buying stamps to copy, she was a little surprised. Finally, she raised her head and looked at the person. When she saw that it was a young man with delicate features, she immediately smiled.
"How much do you want? What kind do you want? Let me show you."
When He Yuheng heard this, he quickly said," I want quite a lot. One set of chrysanthemums, one set of children, one set of Mount Huangshan scenery, one set of butterflies, and one set of peonies." Oh, right, is there anyone from Mei Lanfang's art stage?”
"Yo, you want so much."
More was secondary, the main thing was that the ones inside were not cheap.
For example, this number 44 chrysanthemum had eighteen pieces in a set. The face value was two notes worth four cents, five notes worth eight cents, two notes worth one cent, two notes worth two cents, two notes worth three cents, one note worth three cents, and one note worth five cents. Just this set alone was close to 3 yuan.
The 1963 Children's Day stamp with a children's design, serial number 54, a set of 12.
The special thing about this set of stamps was that they had been issued without any holes. The stamps without holes needed to be cut by scissors. As for the stamps without holes, the price was the same, one yuan and ten cents per set.
Mount Huangshan Scenery Stamp No. 57, a set of 16 pieces. The pictures on it were the jade screen on Mount Huangshan, the welcoming pine,
Songshi of the Back Sea, Qingliang Terrace, Tiandu Peak, Scissors Peak, Myriad Pine Forest, Dream Brush Flower, Lotus Peak, Cloud Tide of the West Sea, Ancient Pine of Mount Huangshan, Tideviewing of the East Sea, Stalagmite Peak, Stone Monkey Sea-viewing, Lion Forest, and Penglai Island, a total of two yuan and ten cents.
A set of 20 butterfly stamps cost two yuan and fifty cents.
The peony stamps were the most precious of the designs that He Yuheng had mentioned. There were a total of 17 of them, two of which were small stamps with a circulation of only 40,000. The small one was only two yuan each, so the total price of this set was the highest, totaling six yuan and thirteen cents.

" This was only released last year. I should still be able to find it…" He Yuheng thought about these things in his mind.
"I have everything else except Mei Lanfang's!”
"Do you also have the two small Peony tickets?”
"Yes, and they have different patterns."
Heh, his luck was pretty good.
"Then Mei Lanfang, can you think of a way to get me a set?”He Yuheng asked after a discussion. He then quietly approached the counter and whispered,"Get me a full set. I'll come and get it next time. I'll give you two rabbits. What do you think?”
There were not many rabbits in He Yuzhu's system space. Taking out two rabbits was a piece of cake for him.
"Rabbit!"
The auntie's eyes lit up when she heard these two words. She had no choice. It was really not easy to eat some meat in this era. It was not easy. The whole country could only eat meat every ten days, and the amount was not much.
"You mean what you say?"
"Of course. As long as you get it for me, I guarantee that it will be delivered to you.”
"Where did you get this rabbit from? We can't accept unclean things, and we don't dare to accept them.”
"Don't worry. I caught it in the wild two days ago. He was still at home, fair and chubby.”
In this era, real meat was more tempting than money. After all, it was difficult to buy two taels of meat with money.
The post office auntie couldn't be more moved. She said cheerfully,"Alright! I'll think of a way for you. Then you want the rest, right?”
"Yes, I want all of them. How much is the total?”
"16.10 yuan."
He Yuheng took out the money from her pocket.
"Young man, you brought so much money with you. He's really willing."
Sixteen yuan was equivalent to a month's salary for a normal worker who had just entered the factory. It was a bit extravagant to spend all of it on things like stamps.
"Don't worry, I've already told my family about this money. Moreover, this stamp could be used to send a letter.”Of course not. He planned to act first and report later, and he didn't plan to use it.
"You're right."
Stamps wouldn't depreciate like other goods. The amount written on the face value would be the same. There was no such thing as inflation or contraction in this era. Money wouldn't become worthless like in the 21st century.
He Yuheng's trip today could be considered a " bumper harvest ". After buying the stamps, he quickly went to look for the old lady sitting on the lounge chair.
"Grandma, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.”
"What are you talking about? You came back when I was in a daze. Did you buy the stamps?"
"Yes! If he bought it, it could be said that he had won a huge victory!”He Yuheng said happily.
"Alright then." Seeing that He Yuheng was happy, the old lady was also happy for him.
"Grandma, we're almost done walking. Let's go back. I'm going back. It's just in time for lunch.”
" When we go back, everyone will have dinner with me…" Grandmother Qi pretended to be pitiful.
"Aiyo, what are you talking about? I'm not human.”He Yuheng replied mischievously.
"Eat with me."
"Yes, I am."
"Good, good, good." The old lady was delighted to have someone to eat with her.
"You've been walking for the whole morning. You must be tired. I'll carry you back.”He Yuheng said as she squatted in front of the old lady.
After all, the old lady was old. After walking around, she was indeed a little tired, so she did not stand on ceremony with He Yuheng.
He Yuheng bought what he wanted and was overjoyed. He didn't care if the old lady knew about antiques or not. He just wanted to find someone to share his joy with. On the way back, he talked to the old lady happily.
The two of them returned to the old lady's house in the courtyard house and happened to bump into an auntie who came to deliver lunch to the old lady.
"I was just thinking about you guys, so I came back.”A middle-aged woman smiled and said," I know that the old lady definitely wants you to eat with her. Lunch is already on the table.”
"Aiyo, you really understand the old lady. Thank you! Our auntie is still the best!"
He Yuheng's words came from the bottom of his heart at this moment. It couldn't be any truer. Anyone who could get a ready-made lunch at home would express their gratitude to the person who prepared it.
But then again, in this courtyard, the two of them were really good.
As a level-eight fitter in the rolling mill, the first uncle's monthly salary was more than 90 yuan. This auntie had a health problem and could not give birth. With the financial conditions of the first uncle, it was completely possible for him to find a wife to carry on the family line after getting a divorce.
However, the first uncle had never complained about the auntie for so many years. The two of them had been loving each other until now. She usually took care of He Yuzhu and the old lady.
"Good, good, good. You're the one with the sweet mouth.”An auntie said a few more words to the old lady and turned to leave.
